Love this iced tea. I reduced the sugar and added to the water just after reaching a boil. Easy and refreshing!!

This iced tea is awesome!! It is always in my fridge during the summer. Instead of the amount of lemon juice it calls for in the recipe I just juice one lemon and it is perfect. I mix the sugar and lemon juice together then pour in the boiling water, drop in the tea bags, give it another stir and let it steep. It is soo easy and so good!

There was too much lemon juice to my taste. I'll add less next time.

I have made this several times exactly as the recipe is written, at first it was a bit bitter but as one person wrote if you let it sit until the next day it is very good. No more mix for me. Thanks for the recipe.

OIrange Pekoe is a term to describe what "grade" a tea leaf is. There is only one true "tea". True tea comes in various grades. White, Green, Black Oolong, and their various flavored brothers and sisters (Earl Grey) come from the same plant, which is called Camellia sinensis. Pretty much every store will have the grade of tea which is referred to in this recipe. One of the most famous brands would probably be Lipton as that is their staple tea.

I love iced tea!.. I used 5 bags, allowed mine to steep for about 20 minutes and it was great! I omitted the lemon juice but put sliced lemons on top! I used "Sugar in the Raw" Perfect for hot days like today! Thanks!

i cut the sugar to 1/2 cup and added it while boiling the water. i also used regular-flavored tea bags (although i'm sure orange pekoe would be divine). very good!

I added 3/4 cup of baking Splenda instead of sugar while boiling. I also used the juice (and pulp) from 1 1/2 lemons for the 1/2 cup lemon juice. I steeped with 5 tea bags for 45 minutes. Very tasty, and low-calorie too.

I took the advice of another reviewer and added sugar to the boiling water ending with smooth results. Added 1/2 cup of sugar and only 1/4 cup of lemon juice...yum. You only need to steep for 5-10 minutes. One hour is a bit much, for me anyway. The longer you steep tea, the more bitter it becomes. It's a great tea and doesn't need my adjustments. I adjusted it to my taste because I will be the one drinking it. Is there anything special about this recipe? I don't know, because it is only tea, a mere three ingredients. What would make an extraordinary tea?...lol. I'll never buy store tea again for sure.. Thanks for the recipe!

I noticed this tasted alot better if it sits for a few days. I did double the tea bags and half the lemon juice. Which it was still alittle sour. I would only make this again if I had nothing else in the house to drink. Was just okay for me.

This recipe was a bit too tart for our liking. But good none the less. I made these changes: I used 8c hot water and microwaved it for 5 mins. Added two tea bags and let sit for 30 mins. Then I added 1/4c each of lemon and lime juice and 3/4c sugar.

Tasted great! I used 1/4 ReaLemon instead of fresh juice. The first time I made it, it took quite a while until the tea had cooled enough to chill in the fridge. So the next time I made it, I sped things up: I boiled only 2 cups of the water, dissolved the sugar and steeped the tea for about 5 minutes. Then I filled my pitcher the rest of the way with cold water from my filter jug and added the lemon. It was cool enough to put in the fridge right away. I didn't have icecubes, but that would have made things even faster.

This is a 5+. I have made a few batches of this, and have to fight my son for it. The only thing I changed is that I use 1/2 cup of sugar, and I don't steep for and hour. 5 or 10 minutes is more than enough. To me it sure tastes like the Iced tea I get from Starbucks and I can afford this one!!!! Thanks so much!

This recipe is a huge success at our bbq's. I edited it a bit. I squeeze half a lemon and a hole lime into the sugar then poor the boiling water on top of the sugar lemon/lime mixture and mix well, steep 2 orange pekoe bags and one peppermint tea bag for 10 minutes. Then chill, once chilled we cut up the other half of lemon and throw it in the iced tea. YUMM!! We are going to try green tea and use honey as a sweetener, and play with the steeping times a bit.

This is really good. Since I didn't have fresh lemons, I had to use bottled juice (ReaLemon) and I was very pleased with the result. I will certainly make this again.
